Foucault’s Pendulum (1988) by Umberto Eco. A novel about how easy it is to build meaning around the meaningless. The Last of the Wine (1956) by Mary Renault. Athens on its way to losing the war with Sparta. You know what’s coming for Athens, but the characters do not. The atrocity at Melos echoes through the whole book. Strong recommendation for both; they feel very much of the present, age notwithstanding. |
